DMX SETUP
POWER SUPPLY
Before powering ON the device, make sure source voltage matches the required voltage listed on the
device. Line voltages may vary depending on the location, so use caution before powering the device.
DATA CABLE (DMX CABLE) REQUIREMENT
This device requires an approved DMX-512 110 Ohm data cable for signal input and output. We
recommend ADJ Accu-Cable DMX cables. If custom DMX cables are being made, make only sure
standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable is used. Cables should be made with a male and female XLR
connector on either end of the cable. Also remember DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot
be split.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT use the ground lug on the XLR connector! DO NOT connect the cable’s shield conductor to
the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing!
Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior!
IMPORTANT NOTE LINE TERMINATION
When using long extended runs of DMX cable, a DMX line terminator connected to the last DMX device
is needed in order to decrease the possibilities of erratic device behavior. A DMX line terminator is a
standard 90 - 120-ohm 1/4-watt resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 of the male XLR connector
(DATA + and DATA -). This XLR connector is inserted into the female XLR connector on the last device
in the daisy chain to terminate the line.
